I need help with an effect...

Post by Spazishness » Sun Oct 10, 2004 4:51 pm

So um. Hi there. I'm not sure if this is in the right subfourm or if its repeat, so if it is, sorry. v.v;

Anyway. The AMV I'm planning on making needs an effect where the clip looks all old and such. Yellowish/grayish, those little lines going through it and stuff.

Examples:

and
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members ... hp?v=17533

Also, that... strobe light flashing effect. I have Adobe 6.5, and they're not in the effect thing. I know these are probably very newbish questions to ask, but I've looked everywhere. Help? :cry:

Since you have premiere 6.5, there should be an "old film" effect under the so-called "Quicktime Effects."

I believe the term you're looking for is Sepia. A google search of 'premiere sepia' provides <a href="http://www.creativemac.com/2001/07_jul/ ... m">this</a> as the first hit and at first glance it seems to be what you probably want. As for the lines that is indeed in Premiere. Try 'quitcktime effects' and in the popup for that go to 'special effects' and 'film noise'.

That's easy enough to do although many find it annoying to watch. Anyway, place your clip on the timeline. Go through can cut the clip at every other frame. Delete every other cut. What you end up with is 2 frames footage, 2 frames black, repeat which looks very much like a strobe. You may want to experiment with how many frames you use and perhaps lay a solid color track underneath the clip if you want it cutting to a different color than black. Premieres help file also mentions that you can use the posterize time effect for stobe but since I've never done that I can't say how it'd work.

The sepia color tone is also provided under the "color tone" option in Quicktime effects :o
